The available energy decreases as one moves upward in an energy pyramid.
<h3>Energy pyramid</h3>
The energy pyramid represents a model of how energy is transferred from one trophic level to another in ecosystems.
Energy is transferred from producers to primary consumers, from primary to secondary consumers, from secondary to tertiary consumers, and so on.
Only about 10% of the available energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next with the remaining 90% being lost as heat to the environment.
Thus, as one moves up the energy pyramid, the available energy decreases. This is why organisms at the higher end of the energy pyramid have to devise an efficient way of extracting energy from their foods.

#SPJ1
In chemistry:
When something is oxidized, it loses electrons.
When something is reduced, it gains electrons.
So the correct statements would be the second to last and third to last statements
Answer:
Reduction
Explanation:
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Mn⁺⁷ +3e⁻ → Mn⁴⁺
Mn gets three electrons , its oxidation state reduced from +7 to +4 so Mn gets reduced.
Examples:
Consider the following reactions.
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.
H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O
The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
-log(1.0x10^-5) = pH
pH + pOH = 14 (rearrange it)
OH- = 10^-pOH = 1.0 x 10^-9
